We are in the midst of reading the Psalms together in our Bible Year Reading plan. The Psalms are considered, by some scholars, to function as a “new Torah” in the ancient world. This book of the Bible contain a wide range of references to early scriptures and reflections on those times.
The book is 150 Psalms long and is filled with a range of emotions and feelings. In ancient days, and still today, the book of Psalms is used a song book and a prayer book. It is one of my favorite resources to turn to when I am praying but can’t seem to find the words to express my feelings or concerns.
 
In our contemporary world, we often turn to music for this same purpose. It can give voice to our range of emotions and feelings as we respond to life circumstances. While we are reading the Psalms, we thought it would be fun to also compile a play list of songs that each of us turns to during our lives. The staff have compiled many of their favorites and we want you to join in. You can add your selections at mumconline.com/playlist, and you can also listen to the playlist there as well. (You can also get a free account to see all the information about the songs.)

It is my hope that by joining in without playlist project you will grow deeper in your faith, find some new music to listen to, and get to know your fellow church member too! I am looking forward to seeing your selections. 


Blessing,
Pastor Carrie

Can you help with America's Youth Summer Camp? They need you!
America’s Youth, one of Memorial's mission partners, is a home away from home for many area children who need a place to go to and feel safe. The program, managed by our own John Gilbert, begins May 26th and continues through the summer until the new school yet begins. Volunteers are needed throughout the summer. It can be as little as 1 or 2 hours a week or one time
Can you give an hour or two during the week to help this important program?

During the summer months, the kids have a day camp, Monday through Friday, from 7:00AM to 6:00PM Children are served breakfast, lunch, and dinner at camp and participate in both fun and learning activities throughout the day.

For this camp to be successful, volunteers are needed.
Can you give a few hours a week over the summer by:
  • Helping when the kids arrive from 7:00AM - 9:00AM each morning, Monday - Friday or helping with games/reading throughout the day
  •   Watching the kids/engage with them at the swimming pool, Monday - Thursday, 10:00AM - Noon.
  • Pick up the prepaid pizza from Dominoes on a Wednesday and deliver to America's Youth
  • Provide healthy snacks like individual packs of pretzels, or juice boxes, fresh fruit...
  • Help by being a driver for the kids each Friday for the special activities/field trips.
  •  Plan one craft project, ice cream party, or any fun entertainment for the kids during the summer?                                     
 
 Prayerfully consider how you can serve.
For more information or to volunteer call
